I'm pretty sure I am not getting the best performance I could for games, but that's probably due to my card being AGP. I have to admit, while good performance in Games is nice, it's not a major point for me, as I tend to use the Xbox 360 for games anyway.
But, for DVD and Video work, it rocks. Nero was encoding a DVD at almost 400 frames a second!

Yeh I think granted we will prolly lose around 5~10% but hell we've saved well over £300 by recycling memory and grahics... I'm looking at this as a bit of a testbed to see how I get on... Just can't wait for it to come through the door lets just hope I dont get too excited like when I got my first barton.... mounted fan crack - core - shesh luckily I had bought 2 at the same time then
I will try doing some DV capture/encoding (purpose of the upgrade) when I get the board trouble is I'll have to use an old firewire card as this board doesn't come with IEEE1394.
